Another World Witch Training Manual

032. Healing

Standing to the side, Alaya stared blankly at the body that should have been dead, her expression a complex mix of gratitude, doubt, confusion, and fear flashing across her face.

"You...you weren't dead?"

Xinlai was taken aback when she heard this, only then remembering that in Aleya's mind, Eve had already died at the execution ground.

Fortunately, this was just a simulation, so it's not a big deal for Aleya to know the truth.

"If I die," Xinlai wiped the blood from her face,

"You should have died just now too."

The two locked eyes, both reading wariness in each other's gaze.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Xinlai was afraid that Aleya might act rashly and take action, while Aleya was also afraid that the witch might become murderous and kill her, since the pursuers who were so aggressive just moments before were now just a pile of mangled flesh.

"hiss……"

Xinlai suddenly felt dizzy and a sharp pain came from her side.

Although she could maneuver among these small fry with ease, the blades were indiscriminate, and the waistband of her maid outfit had already been torn open, with bright red blood slowly seeping out.

Just as she was about to check the wound, a pink figure flashed in front of her.

"Are you alright?" Alaya leaned closer, glanced at the wound briefly, and looked worried.

"Hmm... I don't think so..." Before Xinlai could finish speaking, Alaya had already reached out her palm and aimed it at her waist, and a soft green light shone.

"I can stop the bleeding temporarily, but we need to find a place to sit down for proper treatment."

The warm current flowed into the wound, and the faint tingling and itching sensation did indeed alleviate the pain somewhat.

Before Xinlai could react, her hand was grasped by another warm and soft hand, and she was pulled to the side.

"Slow down, slow down, the wound hurts from the twisting."

Xinlai winced in pain; how could Eve's body be so sensitive...?

Alaya stopped and looked back at her.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll carry you on my back."

Alaya's eyes still held worry; the pursuers could arrive at any moment upon hearing the sounds of fighting, and she had to leave as soon as possible.

Xinlai thought about it and decided it was a good idea, since Eve wasn't heavy anyway.

She carefully climbed onto Aleya's back, gently placing her hands on her shoulders. Aleya supported her, adjusted her position, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.

Xinlai felt something was off.

The small watermelon on her chest pressed against Aleya's back, creating an indescribable sensation, while Aleya exuded a subtle fragrance completely different from Eve's...

Does every girl have a natural body odor?

Before she could figure it out, Alaya had already carried her to the Adventurers' Guild, which was closest to the royal city gate.

"Wait a minute..." Xin Lai sensed something was wrong. "You're not going to sell me out, are you?"

"..."

Aleya didn't say anything, but handed her the eye bandage that she had picked up at some point.

"Put it on quickly. This is the only place we can stay now."

Xinlai was taken aback, not expecting Aleya to be so thoughtful and considerate...

Carrying a person with a special identity who is injured, one cannot return to the Church of Light, nor can one go to an ordinary inn. Only in places like the Adventurers' Guild would it seem normal to carry an injured person in and out.

The two pushed open the door, and warm yellow light poured out.

The bounty board next to them was covered with quests waiting to be accepted, and the tavern next door was full of adventurers. Some were drinking and having a good time, while others were drowning their sorrows alone. No one paid any attention to the women who had just entered.

At most, people might glance at Alaya's stunning beauty and the swaying, fair legs of the woman on her back.

Alaya went straight to the counter.

A girl with a ponytail and off-white hair looked up. She was wearing a green and black plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and she looked very energetic.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Alaya took out her Silver Adventurer's Badge from her pocket. The girl glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Respected Silver Adventurer, how can I help you?"

"Book a suite."

After the girl registered her basic information, she handed over an enchanted key: "Go upstairs, turn left, and it's the first room at the far right."

"Thanks."

Alaya led Xinlai to the suite, which was similar to a regular hotel double room, only with simpler furnishings.

She quickly put Xinlai on the bed, drew the curtains, and locked the doors and windows.

"Take off your clothes."

"what?"

Xinlai was stunned, not expecting Aleya to be so direct...

He quickly realized that this was to treat her wounds.

She thought about it, and figured since she was currently controlling Eve's body, taking off her clothes in front of another girl shouldn't be a problem...

She slowly got up, her movements slightly awkward.

It wasn't that I was shy, but rather that I wasn't familiar with the structure of women's clothing and couldn't find the buttons for a moment.

Fortunately, Xinlai was extremely shrewd and quickly found the buttons, unbuttoning them one by one. The maid's skirt slipped down, revealing her fair shoulders and white tank top...

"..."

Aleya's eyes held a subtle expression.

The person in front of me was just wearing this... sexy lingerie, fighting bravely outside?

This contrast left her speechless for a moment.

"Is this okay?"

Xin Lai pulled her clothes down to her lower abdomen, revealing her slender waist and full breasts through the white tank top, perfectly exposing the wound.

"Yes, that's fine."

Alaya nodded, knelt down in front of Sinlai, and began to cast a Great Healing spell. Countless green light shoots emerged from her palm and slowly burrowed into the wound.

Xinlai felt a tingling sensation and gritted her teeth to endure it.

"How... are you still alive?" Alaya asked softly, seemingly trying to ease her tension.

Xinlai thought for a moment, and decided that since it was just a simulation, she might as well speak frankly.

"His Highness the Third Prince saved me."

"Third Prince... Xinlai?" Alaya was clearly stunned, unable to understand how Xinlai had saved "Eve".

"Um……"

Xin Lai simplified the process, recounting it in detail, and at the end, she didn't forget to say a few kind words about herself.

Alaya blinked her beautiful eyes, slowly processing this information.

"And what about you? Why were you being chased?" Xin Lai asked.

Aleya didn't hide anything, sat down beside her, and continued the treatment while looking down and saying:

"I had arranged to meet the First Prince with the Third Prince..." Disgust and helplessness appeared on her face, "but that bastard Galund sent someone to invite me ahead of time."

"Invite you? Like before?" Xin Lai was momentarily stunned. Wasn't this a chase? It didn't seem like an invitation at all...

Alaya shook her head. "He sent his concubine to me for treatment. Anyway... it's really strange."

As she spoke, the disgust on her face deepened.

"Healing?"

"Hmm..." Alaya's hand accidentally touched the wound, and Xinlai let out a soft "Ah".

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"Hiss... It's nothing."

The room was quiet for a moment.

Xinlai still couldn't understand why the royal family would seek out Alaya for treatment.

"Where was his concubine injured?"

"..."

Alaya paused for a moment, then raised her hand and gestured.

"His whole body. Wounds everywhere. Bruises, whip marks, ugly scabs."

"..."

Xinlai opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"That's not a reason for them to pursue you."

Aleya sighed, "She told me to secretly follow her back to help her, but I refused. Her guards then tried to force me to go."

"But as they chased after them, they turned into those five from before."

"They changed the person?"

"Hmm... I don't know why either."

"Do you know what kind of people are pursuing you?"

"Of course I'm His Highness's confidant. I haven't broken any laws."

The room fell silent again.

Clearly, what both sides said seemed somewhat fantastical to the other... but they were also unexpected yet logically plausible events.

However, their identities seem somewhat complicated at the moment.

Alaya, as the high priestess of the Church of Light, peacefully coexists in a room with someone labeled a witch, and even heals her wounds.

"You..." Xin Lai probed, "You won't kill me? Nor will you report me?"

Alaya glanced at her, then lowered her head to continue repairing the scars left by the healing wound.

"You saved me," she whispered, "that's enough."

"..."

Xinlai did not speak again.

Under the warm yellow light, only the healing green glow flowed quietly.
